About Joanna Meek landscape Artist /realism /acrylic paintings

As an artist I love to travel around and see the amazing scenery this planet has to show us. I am always inspired and excited after a trip to try and capture what I have seen on to canvas and to make it as life like as I can, so that I feel transported back to that original moment. My favourite scenes are water scenes, and blues and purples are the colours I like the most. I choose what I am about to paint according to my mood, then the colours of the scene and lastly the subject matter and composition.

I am based in Auckland, New Zealand, and all my paintings are from places I have visited while away with my family. They have been very supportive of my art even if it meant driving many kilometres to go and see something they were not interested in, or walking a track they had never heard of.

Initially, I started painting with water colours, then tried my hand at acrylics. I realized this medium was more suitable for me and my style of painting. I keep challenging myself with varied subjects, so now every spare moment I have, is spent painting and planning what I will paint next.

I believe a room or space is never complete without art. It gives the person who enters in to that space a focus point, a moment to sit down and reflect on the beauty of the art they are witnessing, which in turn either lifts, moves or calms the viewer. Art is what sets us apart from everything else and gives a room its moment to shine.

I can be contacted either by phone or email if you wish to view or purchase a painting or a print. Viewings and pickups are by mutual arrangement. If you require a painting to be shipped in New Zealand, send me an email and I will advise you of the cost of shipping-this is to be at customers expense.
